What is a prototype?

A prototype is a preliminary model of something. Projects that offer physical products need to show backers documentation of a working prototype. This gallery features photos, videos, and other visual documentation that will give backers a sense of what’s been accomplished so far and what’s left to do. Though the development process can vary for each project, these are the stages we typically see:

Proof of Concept

Explorations that test ideas and functionality.

Functional Prototype

Demonstrates the functionality of the final product, but looks different.

Appearance Prototype

Looks like the final product, but is not functional.

Design Prototype

Appearance and function match the final product, but is made with different manufacturing methods.

Production Prototype

Appearance, function, and manufacturing methods match the final product.

How many times have you purchased a product based on its packaging, smell, color, your friend’s recommendation or a catchy commercial only to find out that it just wouldn’t work for you? We know we did!

For us, this experience inspired us to create a dry-to-the-touch sheet mask that eliminates the disadvantages of other masks and pays close attention to active substances and the method of their delivery. We call our masks the [n]fibercare Dry Sheet Nanofibre masks.

See, we are not only tech geeks, we are women and skin care enthusiasts as well. So we thought, why don’t we take our expertise and focus it on a product that we also use every day? Obviously, cosmetics was our number one choice.

As women, we really like to pamper ourselves and sheet masks are a product that we all were using on a regular basis. However, there were several things that bothered us about the masks that we were trying.

Our goal is to deliver a new type of a dry-to-the-touch mask that would be quick and easy to use and would be extremely efficient in delivering the active substances. We are sure that choosing the right cosmetics doesn't need to be an experiment.

After years of work in our labs, we came up with a solution. In a nutshell, the [n]fibercare Dry Sheet Nanofiber Mask’s key features are the following:

Both masks work on a completely different principle. Here is a brief summary of the differences:

Do you know what we love the most about this mask besides it being the ultimate vitamin superhero?

It is the perfect mask for all women regardless of their age!

Regenerate & Revitalize Dry Sheet Nanofiber Mask keeps you safe from the daily exposure of radicals and slows the aging process. To create this mask, we consulted dermatologists who helped us formulate a mixture of vitamins that you rarely find in one single product.

A glass of fresh juice and drinking plenty of water works wonders if you need to feel energized again. But what about your skin, though? Is there a similar remedy that would work for your skin?

Yes, there is. The Moisturize & Rejuvenate Mask is the ultimate solution for a tired looking and strained skin. Let the vitamins and moisturizing agents work their magic both from the inside and the outside!

The technology which is used in our face masks is called Nanofiber-delivery system.

It's unlike any other solution that has been introduced to the market since nanofibers are able to delivereven the most fragile molecules into the skin for the most effective treatment.

When the [n]fibercare face mask is applied to the face, the nanofibers attach to the skin in an unprecedented way and immediately start dissolving. During that process, nanofibers can release more active substances per square centimeter than any material currently in use.

Thanks to the patented nanofiber delivery system, the mask allows the skin to use 100% of the active ingredients in the mask.

Trying a new face mask can sometimes be a gamble. You just can't be sure what will the results be. And that's okay if you want to experiment.

But if you don't want to always end up being surprised by the results, you need to know that the cosmetic product is scientifically capable to actually help you.

And that's the challenge our team of cosmetics lovers and scientists has taken up.

We are fully aware that the past eight years were just a warm up - the best part is yet to come.

And that is why we are turning to Kickstarter's great community of daring people who love to explore new ways and break stereotypes.

Our [n]fibercare face masks are bringing a change to the beauty regimen that hasn't arrived in a very long time.

Years-long efforts have lead to this and we can't express how excited we are. Now's the time to join forces and bring this revolution in cosmetics to women in all corners of the world.

Because every woman deserves a beauty regimen that is a moment to always look forward to.

Risks and challenges

Our [n]fibercare face masks are a brand new product and this Kickstarter campaign is the launch of a completely new journey of NanoPharma and our team.

A successful Kickstarter campaign is key if we want to achieve our ambitions and bring our Nanofiber cosmetics to the whole world.

We have years of experience with producing new products, that is why we take delays in the manufacturing process as a calculated risk. To minimize risks, we have already undertaken procedures that reduce the space for setbacks.
